Chapter 2
SamanthaTWO WEEKS LATER…
I STOOD proudly in front of the board as I felt my husband's hand caressing my waist. The evilness in him that I just discovered after our marriage has worsened. Now, he wants my company, and he’s using my ill younger brother to control me. I regret accepting his proposal, I regret meeting him, I regret falling in love with him, damn, I regret everything. I should’ve known better. If only I am strong and not stupid enough to fall for his faked love.“Today, I called all of you for an important matter,” I started as I felt his hand going down to my hand. He intertwined our fingers and kissed my temple. I squeezed my eyes closed as he whispered in my ear. “I’ll tell them for you, sweetheart.”
I looked at him with pleading eyes, but he just smiled and faced the people in front of us. “Effective today, I will be handling the company. I am the new director of the company.”
I balled my fist under the table and because he’s holding my hand, he looked at me with a smile that I already know the meaning.“But why? Mrs. Samantha Davidson is perfectly good with her job.”
“I agree, Mr. Davidson. It's not like we don’t trust you. We just can’t understand. For what reason?”
Dylan chuckled and hugged my waist. “Well, that’s because my dear wife is already carrying my child.”
I gaped at him after he said that. Carrying his child? I am not pregnant, and I will never ever carry his child. I’d rather die or get buried alive than carrying his blood in my belly.
The people started clapping their hands while congratulating us, but I couldn’t even look at them. My eyes are glued to my evil husband as he pulled me and kissed me in front of everyone. He stared at me and whispered, “Smile, sweetheart, you wouldn’t want your brother dead, right?”
I was forced to face the people and thank them.
I PUSHED Dylan away after we entered the car. He devilishly grinned at me and sat like an arrogant b*stard.“You got what you want, free my brother.”
He burst in laughter and stared at me afterwards, he caressed my cheek, but I moved my face away.
“Oh, sweetheart, your brother is doing fine. He's recovering very fast.”
“Can't you at least let me see him?”
He glared at me. “I'm not stupid, Samantha. You are a cunning b*tch, don't you think I'm not stupid enough to get fooled?”
I looked away and balled my fist. I felt an intense stare from somewhere until I spotted an unfamiliar driver glancing at me in the rear mirror.
He immediately looked away. He has a thick eyebrow and blue pair of eyes. His skin is so white and his lips is plump and red.
I looked at Dylan. “Who is he?”
“Oh! He's Jacob, your bodyguard.”
I gasped. “Bodyguard?!”
He grinned again. “You can't leave the house starting today, sweetheart.”
“No!” that's too much! He can't take a full control over me. He can't just dominate my whole! Being a devil's prisoner is already too much, and now he's forbids my freedom?
“Yes, sweetheart. Your brother. Think of your brother.”
I pressed my lips together and look down. He's starting to ruin my life, and I hate that I can't do anything.
The whole ride was silent. We reach the house that I keep on pushing Dylan's hands away from me. I went straight to the bedroom and laid on the bed. I stared at the ceiling, thinking about my brother.
I pressed my lips together. I need to take my brother with me, we need to escape from my evil husband, but I don't know how. I don't even have any idea where he hides my brother.
WHEN we reached home, I quickly went to the bedroom and sat on the bed. I balled my fist and shifted my gaze to the big wedding picture on the wall just above the headboard of our bed.
I felt the unceasing pain in my heart as I saw how beautiful my smile was in the picture. I was so happy that time, but it has vanished now. Dylan tricked me, and now he's making my life miserable.
I wanted to run away, but thinking about my brother weakens me. If I leave, Dylan will hurt him and I can't allow it.
The door swung open. Dylan came with a bottle of whiskey in his hands. He drank from the bottle and locked the door behind him.
He slowly walks towards me. His eyes are burning with lust, and I already know what will happen next.
I slowly laid my back on the bed. I swallowed hard as he hovered to me and started kissing my neck. I pressed my lips together and squeezed my eyes closed.
I gasped when he tore my dress from the neck line and poured a whiskey in my body.
I balled my fist. He already dominated me, and stole everything I have. I don't have anything to lose any more except for my brother. If luring him like this will give back my freedom in the end, I will use his lust for my freedom.
“No one will ever benefit from you but me. Only me, sweetheart.” he whispered and started kissing my stomach, licking every drop of the whiskey he poured to me.
I felt his big hands caressing my thighs, spreading them apart as he settles between them. He pulled the only remaining cloth covering my nakedness.
I gasped and shook my head while panting whilst kissing my core.
I felt so disgusted. I wanted to push him away, but making him believe that he completely dominated me under his spell is my only chance to get on his good side.
He hovered to me again and took all his clothes off.
Tears started streaming down my face as he successfully dominated my physical body. He hugged me and started moving above me.
I balled my fists even harder. He may have fully consumed my strength to refused to him and completely owned my body, but he will never ever get my heart again.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Chapter 3Samantha I'm staring at myself in front of the mirror. There was no mark or sign that I am miserable in my marriage life. There was no mark or bruise in my body that could be use against my evil husband. I sighed and put back my robe, the same time Dylan entered the room. He sat on the ottoman and stared at my face. I turned around to face him. I bore my eyes to him who keeps on staring at me for unknown reason. He gestured me to come. “Come here, sweetheart.” I did not move. My heart is pounding so hard while staring back at him. His stare is sending thrills down to my spine, but I couldn't look away, I can't take my stare off him as he looked so handsome with his business suit. If he just sat back and behave like that, no one will ever think that he's hiding a monster inside him. I regret meeting him. If I could turn back the time, I will definitely do it and avoid the part where I met him. His forehead creased. “Come he
Chapter 4Samantha I SLOWLY wore my clothes and hugged my body. Dylan stood before me while buckling his belt. While still half naked, he lifted my chin and hungrily kissed my lips. He licked and bit it before releasing me. He grinned at me and rolled his tongue over his lips, licking my saliva on it. “You're still sweet as f*ck. Glad you married me.” I looked away. I can still feel the disgust, but I'm trying my best to ignore it. I need to get into his good side to get a clue about my brother's location. Dylan wore his shirt and grabbed his cellphone, wallet, and car key. He kissed me again and stared at my eyes. “I'm off to work again, sweetheart. You shouldn't defy me, so we won't have any problem, okay.” I did not answer. He chuckled. “I'll be staying in the company tonight, so better behave because whatever you do will reach me.” Again, I kept my mouth shut and just stared at him without any emotion in my eyes. Even af
Chapter 5Samantha I DECIDED to leave the bedroom. It's been three days since I locked myself inside. I refused to talk to Jacob because he's Dylan's ally and I hate them both for keeping me inside this freaking gigantic mansion. It's too lonely here. I wanted to go out and have some fresh air. D*mn! I really want to be free. I grimaced as I noticed the CCTV camera in the living area. Actually, I wished that Jacob put a camera inside the bedroom, that could be enough to file a case against Dylan, but my evil husband is just too smart. I went straight to the kitchen to drink water when I saw Jacob drinking apple juice while half naked. I gaped at him as I blinked continuously. Is he serious? He noticed me gawking at him, and I immediately looked away as he smirked. He cleared his throat right away. “Do you need something, miss Samantha?” I did not respond, instead, I went to the refrigerator to drink water. Jacob on the other hand remained s
Chapter 6Samantha JACOB keeps on glancing at me while I'm watering the plants in the garden. Dylan left early in the morning and firmly ordered me not to leave the mansion. He's being paranoid, as Lucian tried to reach me last night through my social media account after Dylan forced me to give him all my social media accounts and forbids me to use gadgets. I don't like it, but I can't do anything, since he used my brother again to get what he wants. I was about to enter the house when Jacob got in my way. I lifted my chin and met his gaze. “What?” He looked down at me, guilt is visible in his eyes. “I'm sorry.” I heaved a sigh and crossed my arms. “It's nothing. I shouldn't have talked to you either, you're just a bodyguard.” “Miss Samantha—” I lifted my arm, stopping him. “I got nothing to say to you, Jacob. It's not even a month since we met. You shouldn't involve yourself with me.” I saw his jaw clenched. For wha
Chapter 7Samantha I COULDN'T look at Jacob. After what happened earlier, I don't even know how to face him. If only I can stay inside the bedroom for the rest of my life. After I ate dinner, I quickly washed the dishes and went back inside the bedroom. I just left some food for Jacob since I told him not to cook anymore, well, I'm not that bad to let him sleep with empty stomach. I took a quick bath and dried my hair afterwards, I ride on the bed and rested my back against the headboard. I opened the book I'm reading until I heard Dylan's car. Oh sh*t! Why is he so early? Should I pretend to be sleeping? D*mn it! I was about to lie on the bed when the door swung opened. I gasped. How did he come here so fast? He grinned as soon as he saw me. I wanted to puke on his face. “Sweetheart, someone wants to talk to you.” S-Someone? Could it be my brother? “W-Where is my brother?” He went to me and showed me
Chapter 8Samantha I WOKE up with a blanket covering my naked body. Dylan's not around and it relieved me. I feel it would be better not to see him after what he did to me last night. He used me like I am some kind of whore and I loath him for that. A sarcastic smile formed in my lips as I gripped the blanket that's covering my body. Seriously? After using me like that, he'll cover me with a blanket as if nothing happened. I balled my fist and slowly sat on the bed. I bit my lower lip as pain sting in between my legs. I groaned and pushed myself to stand. Covered with blanket, I went inside the bathroom, limping. Slowly, I started caressing my arm. I swallowed hard and faced the mirror in the bathroom. With trembling hands, I dropped the blanket and squeezed my eyes closed as I saw the reflection of my body in the mirror. There are kiss marks in my chest and arm, down to my stomach and legs. I took a deep breath and made my wa
Chapter 9Samantha I'M EATING lunch with Jacob across me. He's also silently eating, and I couldn't help but to glance at him from time to time. After what happened this morning, I suddenly felt urges to trust this man in front of me, but I'm just too scared to trust another man again. “Don't you like the food, miss Samantha?” I blinked my eyes continuously and shook my head. “No, it's okay.” He nodded and continued eating. I then pursed my lips before opening my lips to speak again. “What's your previous job, Jacob?” He stilled and lifted his chin. He stared at me. “I was a photographer.” That shocked me. “That's too far from being a bodyguard.” He nodded. “Yeah. Actually, I applied to be a security guard in your company but Mr. Davidson gave me a different job and yeah, I became your bodyguard and maid.” His last word made me laughed. I was enjoying my lunch with him when I suddenly realized that there might be a C
Chapter 10Samantha I WENT to the living area as soon as Jacob left. I palmed my face and started massaging my nose bridge. What would I do now that Lucian found me? He's stubborn. He'll surely pick a fight with Dylan as soon as he found out about what's happening to me. I shook my head and was about to go upstairs when someone started knocking in the door. My lips parted as my heart pounded in fear. Who could that be? I gasped and bit my lower lip, there's no way that Jacob or Dylan would knock in the door. With pounding heart, I went to the front door and opened it. I came face to face with Lucian, who immediately pulled me for a tight hug. “Sam, what happened? Why didn't you tell me that you got married?” I quickly pushed him away and looked at the camera that's actually facing our spot. Oh, my God! I looked at Lucian. “Lucian, please leave.” Confusion was written on his face, but he fiercely shook
Jacob's POVMy hands are sweating. I can feel my heart racing. Today, standing along some friends, I was trying to calm myself down. I'm sweating bullets, and I can't help but to feel nervous.Our love has been tested for so many times. Samantha was my first love. I was a coward, so I didn't have the chance to confess to her, now that we meet again after I insisted this to our fate, I won't let anything get in between us and ruin us.I loved Samantha even before, and I've waited long enough. I did all my best to reach this far, and I did this because I love her so much. Even after so many years, I'm still so in love with her. So damn in love."Couz, calm down," Theo said, laughing.I turned to him and frowned. He's so annoying.After a few minutes, we were informed that the bride is coming. My heartbeat tripled. Three years ago, I found courage to enter her life. I was scared because I know she'll ignore me since she found a loving husband, but intervening in her life turned out to be
Samantha's POVI can't move. I can't even lift a single finger. After I heard that gunshot, a deafening silence followed. Tears continued cascading down my cheeks as I covered my ears, afraid of another gunshot. Did he… did he really kill himself? No! He must pay for his sins. He can't escape just like this. He can't!"SAMANTHA!"I jumped in shock as a series of bang on the door followed that familiar voice. That voice! Jacob! Am I dreaming? Is he really here?"Samantha, baby, are you in there?"I looked at the door and slowly crawled backwards. The door swung opened, revealing Jacob, whose eyes are dead worried. His sharp eyes immediately softened after he saw me."Jacob!" I cried his name as his warm embraced enveloped me. He hugged me tight. So, so tight and warm."I'm sorry… I'm sorry for coming late, baby. I'm so sorry…" he whispered while kissing my hair.My trembling hands reached his back and I hugged him tight. I cried in his chest. "You came! You saved me, Jacob!""Shhh! Hu
Jacob's POV"I will beg, Theo!" I desperately growled at Theo. He's restraining me from leaving. He just doesn't want me to leave and do the only thing I can think of. I will beg to my family just so I can find Samantha. I will kneel willingly, so they'd help me."Do you think they will really help you? Our family are worse than you think, Jacob. They won't allow you to be happy after you turned your back on them."I looked down, hopeless. I don't know what to do anymore. When I decided to leave, Shane stopped me. And now, Theo is convincing me to stay. I don't wanna stay here and wait. I don't wanna stay here and do nothing. I just can't."Your daughter needs you, Jacob. I know you want to save Samantha. You badly want to be with her again. You're damn worried, but if you leave, what will happen to your daughter? Didn't you promise Samantha that you'll take care of your child? What are you doing now?"I fell on my knees. I don't know. I don't know anymore. I'm so confused. I'm so da
Samantha's POVI watched Dylan entered the room with a tray of food. He was smiling so wide, so bright, and I know that behind those smiles, he was thinking something selfish and devilish. I've known him for a long time. I've been fooled by him real good, and he's done enough to make me want to puke every time I see his face.He walked towards the bed where I'm sitting and put the tray on the bedside table. He leaned to me and kissed my cheek. I would love to spit on his face, but I have to play my cards well. Dylan is a bastard, and I know he knew that I have plans."Are you hungry, sweetheart? Do you want me to feed you?"I looked at him, despise is visible in my eyes. I don't wanna pretend that I don't hate him. He's f-cking bastard and coward for doing this. Abducting me, and blackmailing that he would hurt my child and Jacob? He's plain stupid!"Why don't you eat alone, Dylan? I don't have an appetite. I've lost it the moment I saw your face," I said with my clenching jaws.He ch
I've been searching for Samantha for a week, but I always fail to find her. I can't help but to cry on the seventh days because of worry and frustration. I know that it was Dylan, who took her. What made me furious even more was she was taken even when i'm just with her that day. She was taken without me noticing. Dylan managed to take her away on my guard, and i'm so angry at myself. I hate myself."What do we do, Jacob?" Theo asked me and heaved a sigh. "The investigator haven't found any clue for the past few days. I bet our family is also blocking our connections. They think Samantha is the problem here."I clenched his jaws and looked at Shane. He was silently listening while staring at baby Sunny in his lap. I'm aware that he's frustrated either, but he's trying to calm and convince himself that his sister is safe."You need to ask help from our family, Jacob," Theo added.I clenched my jaws and shook my head as I lifted his face and looked at Theo. "No! I will find her myself,
Samantha's POVAfter I got discharged, we went home straight. Jacob was so careful of me and our baby that sometimes I'll just laugh at him because he's really overreacting."I'm not a baby, Theo!"I looked at my brother, who growled at Theo. The annoying Theo keeps on insisting on carrying him to sit on the couch, but my brother, who's showering with pride, keeps on refusing.I just shook my head and looked at my sunshine in my arms. I went to the kitchen, following Jacob, who's gonna cook our dinner."Hey!" Jacob noticed me behind him. He smiled and went to us. He kissed our baby's knuckles. "Hello, my little sunshine. Daddy is here."I smiled and stole a kiss on his cheek. He looked at me and shot his eyebrow up. "You're abusive."I chuckled and chewed my lower lip. I shook my head. "You don't like it?"He grinned and kissed my lips. It was a passionate and long kiss while his left hand is keeping my face in place. He licked his lower lip after the kiss and winked. "I love the tast
Samantha's POVDays and months had passed. Now, I'm tiredly staring at Jacob, who's carrying my baby—our baby. He was just staring at the little girl in his arm. There are tears at the corner of his eyes as he gently caressed the baby's balled small fists.He lifted his face and looked at me. He went to my side and gently out the baby in my arm. I smiled. She looks like an angel. She's so beautiful."She's so beautiful, baby…" Jacob whispered to me. I smiled at him and nodded. "Yeah." My voice is hoarse from screaming while delivering Sunshine. It was so painful. I was crying the whole time. Exhausted and scared, but when I saw my baby, the pain, exhaustion, and fear vanished.I rolled my tongue over my lip and looked at Jacob. He's just staring at me. He looked tired too. There are dark circles under his eyes. His hair is a bit long. He's even become more tan. It's all because he's been working so hard for us.He smiled and caressed my cheek. "Thank you for giving me another reason t
Samantha's POVFor me, our lives didn't change that much, but for Jacob and Theo—it did, big time. I know they're having a hard time living a new life, which was far from their lives before. They said, we'll have a vacation on this island, turns out we will live a simple life like the other people here.The island is private, but there are people living here. Most of them are families of fishermen, and they seem to love the life here."Sam."I looked at my back and smiled at Shane. It's been a week since we got here on the island. Theo and Jacob went fishing every morning. Sometimes, they do that for our meal, but most of the time—to sell, so they can support us. They're enjoying their lives, I can see it, but I'm still worried that they'll eventually realize that they trade their lives for us. They sacrificed too much.Shane stopped beside me, still sitting in his wheelchair. I'm just standing by the door, watching Jacob fixing the fishing net after they got back from the mid-sea.S
Samantha's POVI'm silently sitting on the passenger seat while Jacob is driving. Behind me is Shane and beside him is Theo. He left his car in front of the company, saying it has a tracking device on it.I keep on glancing at Jacob. Anger is still visible on his face. Worried, I slowly caressed his arm. He glanced at me and his eyes softened. "I'm sorry about Jacel."I smiled and shook my head. "It's fine, Jacob. It's nothing."His jaw clenched. "They haven't started. My grandfather will do everything to make us struggle severely.""Don't worry, Jacob," Theo paused and tapped his cousin's shoulder. "I got some help here."My forehead creased when he lifted a black briefcase while smirking.Jacob glanced at him through the rearview mirror. "What's that?""Money," Theo grinned and chuckled. "You're not the only smart boy here, Jacob."Jacob chuckled at what his cousin said. He shook his head. "When did you put that in there?""Hmm! You left your car open, Jacob. I paid some kid around
